(Zaman Al Wasl)- Nine civilians were killed by Russian airstrikes on Friday in northwestern province of Aleppo, a Civil Defense official said.
Some 30 people were injured when Russian warplanes struck residential areas in the opposition-held Kfar Dael village, Beibars Meshal, a civil defense official in Aleppo, told Anadolu Agency.
He said three children were among those killed in the attack.
Meanwhile, the regime army and allied Shiite militias have taken control Dahiyat al-Assad suburb and al-Munian village on the western gate of Alepo city, local reporter said.
In its Turn, the Turkey-backed Free Syrian Army made new gains against the Islamic State, taking townd Haji Kousa, Halisa, Bslaja and al-Aoun in the eastern countryside of Aleppo, pressing closer to the ISIS stronghold of al-Bab city.
Syria has been wrecked in a vicious civil war since early 2011, when the Bashar al-Assad regime cracked down on pro-democracy protests -- which erupted as part of the "Arab Spring" uprisings -- with unexpected ferocity.
Since then, more than 400,000 people have been killed and more than 13 million displaced across the war-battered country, according to the UN. (With AA)
